I'm down in the Florida Keys, south of Miami, and I need a NA. Anyone have any positive/negative feedback on Dr. Barry? It's a 2.5 hour drive to Miami and a 4 hour drive to Dr. Eaton in Jupiter, FL.

I also could have it done locally this summer in Madison, WI at the University of Wisconsin Hand Clinic. According to the nurse, Dr. Stephen Zachary and Dr. Armon Salyapongse do a couple NAs every week. The prices at UW-Health are probably higher though. The estimate was $218 for the consult and $1153 for the procedure, plus then they want me to get a splint.

I'm a new member. 58 year old male with a $10,000 deductible on my health insurance (grrr...) I've got a 90 degree contracture on my right pinkie finger. I'm getting tired of botched handshakes (great first impression!) and problems putting gloves on, etc.

Any feedback on any of this??? Thanks, looks like a great forum!!!

In 2005, Dr. Barry was trained in Paris, France, by Drs. Lermusiaux and Badois, the originators and developers of the non-surgical needle aponeurotomy technique. He specializes in NA and has done over 1900 procedures.

My wife and I aren't fans of long drives in S. Florida. It's a 5 hour versus 8 hours difference (round trip)...
